Jianming Chaos

Kan Ze was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while.When he came back to his senses, he found that the stern of the boat was leaking, which seemed to be broken by Murais' shocking kick.

"What should I do? At this position, I will definitely not be able to reach the other side!" Kan Ze became anxious, and he felt that the hull of the boat was slowly sinking.He didn't want to go swimming alone in the middle of the night.

At this time, a miracle happened.A strange force pushed up the hull of the boat, as if there were many hands supporting the bottom of the boat in the water, and sent him all the way to the opposite bank.The boat moved forward in the air, and he didn't even need to sway the scull. Although he felt very creepy, he could only rely on these water ghosts for help.

After the boat docked, those water ghosts seemed to swim away, and the river water began to pour into the boat again.

Kan Ze hurriedly disembarked and went ashore.At the same time, nearby patrols also spotted him.

"Stop! What are you doing?" The heavily armed patrol rushed over and asked.

"Brother Bing, I came from the camp of the Wu army on the opposite bank, and I came here to surrender to Prime Minister Cao." Kan Ze replied calmly, forgetting about the water ghost pushing the boat for a while.

"Come to surrender late at night?" The patrolman looked him up and down by the light of the torch, "Why are you wearing this suit?"

"Time is tight, so I deliberately disguised myself as a fisherman at night to avoid being discovered." Kan Ze explained.

Seeing the ship sinking, the patrolman asked, "What's the matter with this ship?"

"Oh, I accidentally bumped into a rock just now, and it was broken and leaked. Fortunately, I just landed." Kan Ze said pretending to be happy.

The patrolman obviously didn't care much about this, and asked again: "You came to surrender, do you have a letter of surrender?"

"Of course there is." Kan Ze took out the surrender letter from his arms and handed it over.

The patrolman handed the letter of surrender to the soldier captain.The soldier captain yawned deeply, didn't bother to look at it, and said, "Search the body, if it's safe, take it back and let the prime minister deal with it."

After the search, Kan Ze was taken to the main tent.Sure enough, Cao Cao couldn't sleep, and called all the generals for a military meeting late at night, and Pang Tong and Zuo Ci were also present.

When he heard that Kan Ze was here to send a letter of surrender to Huang Gai, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he thought: "One day ago, Jiang Qiancai sent someone to report that Huang Gai was beaten up by Zhou Yu and wanted to surrender; today there are people I’m here to deliver the letter of surrender. It seems that Jiang Gan’s words are true!”

Soldiers submit a letter of surrender.Cao Cao finished reading quickly and fell into deep thought.

Someone next to him whispered a few words in his ear.Cao Cao nodded slightly, and asked, "Who wrote this surrender letter?"

"It was dictated by General Huang Gai, and I will write it for you." Kan Ze calmly took off the hat on his head, and faced a group of enemy generals, his expression did not change and his heart beat.

"What is your relationship with Huang Gai?" Cao Cao stared at him with sharp eyes.

"Siblings love each other with sincerity." Kan Ze summed up the relationship between the two with two idioms.

Cao Cao read the letter of surrender several times, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Why is the Prime Minister laughing?" Kan Ze was puzzled.

"Hmph, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai jointly used bitter tricks to deceive me. First, they lured Jiang Gan to report the letter, and then asked you to present the letter of surrender. Do you think I don't know?" Cao Cao suppressed his smile and threw the letter of surrender on the ground.

Kan Ze, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, looked up to the sky and laughed without fear.

"What are you laughing at?" Cao Cao asked.

"I'm not laughing at the Prime Minister, but at Huang Gai for being so ignorant!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I've heard people say that Prime Minister Cao is a corporal who loves talents as much as his life. Now it seems that his name does not match the truth. Huang Gai has blind eyes and misjudged the wrong person. He should not come to seek refuge with a narrow-minded and intolerant The prime minister of man!" Kan Ze directly hated Cao Cao, fearless of life and death.

"you……"

Just as Cao Cao was about to get angry, Pang Tong who was standing next to him persuaded him, "Calm down the prime minister, let's see what he says. This man is upright and outspoken. He doesn't look like a big talker."

There was a smile on the corner of Kan Ze's mouth, and he said to Pang Tong: "It seems that there are still people who understand. May I ask the name of this dear friend?"

"I'm Pang Shiyuan, Pang Tong." Pang Tong responded.

As soon as Kan Ze heard the name, he knew it was his own, but on the surface he pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be Mr. Pang Shiyuan who is called 'Feng Chu' by the world?"

"Don't dare to take it, it's Pang." Pang Tong said modestly.

"It turns out that Mr. Pang has been staying here all this time! Although Mr. Pang is well-known all over the world, few people know about his traces. Seeing him today is such a blessing!" Kan Ze never expected to see the legendary phoenix chick with his own eyes today.

"Sir, you are serious. Pang came here recently, just to assist the prime minister in handling some military affairs." Pang Tong did not elaborate, and he and the other party built a wall of tacit understanding and cooperated with each other.

Of course Kan Ze knew what role he was playing here, so he said: "It seems that Huang Gongfu is right! He said that Prime Minister Cao is 'inclusive of all rivers, and tolerance is great', which is not false at all!"

"You just said that the old man can't tolerate people?" Cao Cao asked with narrowed eyes.

"Haha, Prime Minister, don't be surprised. I was just angry for a while and said something angry. General Huang is eagerly looking forward to joining your army and helping the prime minister to defeat Wu's army and regain Soochow and Baiyue for the great man." Kan Ze saw the opportunity. Mature, seize the opportunity to say.

"In this case, the old man has two questions." Cao Cao did not dare to believe the other party easily, and said, "One, you said that you and Huang Gai are brothers and sisters, why did you mention in the letter: I, Huang Gai, have been the Lord of Wu for many years, and it is difficult to find a confidant ? Second, since he wants to surrender, why didn't he agree on a date?"

Kan Ze smiled contemptuously, and said, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, the Prime Minister should be a person who has read the Four Books and Five Classics, the Six Secrets and the Three Strategies, right? Why does he speak like an inexperienced scholar?"

"How do you say that?" Cao Cao didn't get angry this time, let's see how the other party explained it.

"First, General Huang Gongfu, a veteran of Soochow, was severely beaten by his junior Zhou Yu for trivial matters. He felt angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he naturally revealed a disappointed attitude towards Soochow in his words; as On behalf of the author, I can deeply feel the helplessness in his heart. The so-called "confidant", combined with the context at the time, does not refer to a close friend, but a person who can stab him; to put it bluntly, it is for him The one who delivers the books is here." Kan Ze talked eloquently, his conversation was fluent and tight.

"The public's intention is that he said this to imply that you want to help him?" Cao Cao understood a little bit.

"The prime minister is wise. Looking at the entire Wu army camp, Gong Fu thought that I was the only one who could help him. He knew that I might not dare to go to your army's position alone, so he hinted at me through such cryptic words. Fortunately, I realized what he meant in time. Therefore, I volunteered to present the letter of surrender." Kan Ze gave an explanation according to the situation.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will trust you for now. What about the second one?"

"Naturally needless to say the second point. Could it be that the prime minister has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has never heard of 'the enemy can't be appointed for adultery'?" Kan Ze deliberately played tricks.

Cao Cao had never heard of it, but he was embarrassed to admit it in front of everyone, so he said: "The military is busy, and there are occasional omissions. I hope you can enlighten me."

Kan Ze continued: "If a date is agreed upon, and General Huang is unable to get away for some reason, but your army goes to the appointment as scheduled, wouldn't it be caught by Wu Jun? Therefore, we can only act according to circumstances to ensure the success of the plan."

After Cao Cao thought about it carefully, he thought it made sense, and asked, "Then according to Huang Gai's intention, when is it appropriate to surrender?"

"If the prime minister has already approved it, I will go back and report to Gongfu immediately, and the time will be decided separately. However, the time for the meeting must be determined carefully, and must not arouse Wu Jun's suspicion. After Gongfu surrenders, he will definitely tell Wu Jun all of his weaknesses. Prime Minister." Seeing that he was done, Kan Ze put on his bamboo hat and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Cao Cao stopped him, "I still have something to ask."

"Please speak, Prime Minister." Kan Ze took off his hat again.

"I want to know, were you there when Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai?" Cao Cao said in the tone of an interviewer.

"I wasn't there. I just rushed over to visit him after receiving the news." Kan Ze told the truth.

"That's weird. The old man remembered that it was clearly written in the letter of surrender: Zhou Yu humiliated me in public. All the generals and generals saw it and hated it in their hearts. They sympathized with me but dared not speak out." Cao Cao was able to recite the content.

Kan Ze smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is thinking too much. This is just a general statement, and it doesn't mean that all the soldiers are present."

"That's really weird. I received a letter from Jiang Gan before, saying that you were there." Cao Cao said deliberately.

Kan Ze thought to himself: "Cao Cao actually mentioned Jiang Gan's name twice in front of me. It seems that he wants to use Zhou Yu's hand to get rid of Jiang Gan. However, he is still useful and cannot be easily removed."

Thinking of this, Kan Zequan pretended not to hear Cao Cao's subtext, and said, "Mr. Jiang has just arrived in Wuying and rarely met me. How could he notice that I was there? There were more than [-] people present at the time." , I don't believe he has such a good memory."

"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "Mr. was not there at the time, but how did he know the number of people present?"

Kan Ze knew that too many words would lead to mistakes, and he knew that Cao Cao was deliberately luring him into a loophole, so he said calmly, "This is not easy, just ask anyone present."

When Cao Cao heard it, it was true.However, he was still dubious about Huang Gai's surrender, but he couldn't hear a flaw from the opponent's mouth.

Pang Tong saw that the two sides were fighting a psychological battle, and hurriedly came forward to rescue: "Prime Minister, why don't you let Mr. Kan go back first, maybe Huang Gai is waiting for news over there."

"What's your opinion, Mr. Pang?" Cao Cao asked with narrowed eyes.

"I believe that since the fact that Huang Gai was severely beaten is a fact, as long as it is proved that this incident is not a bitter trick, it will also prove the authenticity of the surrender from the side." Pang Tong said his thoughts.

"How to prove it?" Cao Cao asked.

"I can't prove it now, but as long as Huang Gai comes to me and lets me inspect his wounds, I can tell whether it was a real beating or a fake beating." Pang Tong began to help.

"Mr. Pang, please don't doubt Old General Huang. He has served three generations of state lords in Eastern Wu. It is absolutely impossible for him to suffer such a serious crime for shaming surrender! You didn't see the scene at that time. It was shocking. We all thought he couldn't make it through. Fortunately, he survived, and he sincerely surrendered to your army, but your army was in trouble everywhere; in this case, just pretend that I never came!" Kan Ze turned his face away, pretending to be aggrieved.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Sir, don't be angry, we are only doing it cautiously. After all, the timing of the surrender is too coincidental. Think about it differently. From the standpoint of the prime minister, would you accept it unsuspectingly?"

Kan Ze thought for a while and said, "Well, you're right, it's just..."

Suddenly, he remembered the fake Cai Mao he met in the middle of the river, and said, "Prime Minister, I have something to tell you. In fact, Cai Mao went to our camp not long ago and met Lord Zhou Yu in secret. Even Mr. Jiang didn't know about it. .”

"What?!" Cao Cao's expression changed, "This traitor actually joined Wu Jun!"

When the generals heard that "Cai Mao" had defected to Wu Jun, they also frowned and scolded endlessly.

"It's really disappointing that Cai Mao betrayed our army at a critical moment!" In a fit of anger, Yu Jin forgot that this Cai Mao was no longer that Cai Mao.

"No, he's not Cai Mao anymore." Kan Ze purposely put it off.

These words reminded everyone, and they all recalled the escape of "Cai Mao" from prison, and they all felt very strange.

Of course Cao Cao knew about Cai Mao's being possessed by the dead, but he pretended not to know and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Cai Mao has been possessed by an undead general from the Roman Empire." Kan Ze kept paying attention to Cao Cao's eyes when he said this. He noticed that Cao Cao was not surprised by Cai Mao's being possessed, but was surprised after being possessed. Cai Mao would actually join Wu Jun.

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. He knew that once "Cai Mao" surrendered to the enemy, the undead army would surely make a comeback and take the opportunity to take revenge.The Jiangling battle made him see the strength of those undead.

Seeing that the plan was successful, Kan Ze said, "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him in the dark, so as not to let him destroy our plan."

Cao Cao thought to himself that everything Kan Ze said before may be for the purpose of realizing Huang Gai's false surrender; but if "Cai Mao" joined, the situation would be different.Kan Ze knew about the undead, which proved that what he said was true, and that "Cai Mao" had indeed taken refuge in Wu Jun.Moreover, being able to say these words to the enemy general is not at all like a false surrender style; if it is a false surrender, there is no need to tell him about "Cai Mao"'s surrender, because it is not good for Wu Jun.That being the case, Cao Cao must rely on the power of spies to contain this fake Cai Mao; the only spies he can rely on at present are Huang Gai and Kan Ze, and Jiang Gan is not a reliable candidate in his mind.In other words, Cao Cao has chosen to trust the other party.
